The National Center for Prevention of Community Violence Helps First Responders Receive Wellness Help in Ongoing Pandemic
Jan 14, 2021
LOS ANGELES - January 14, 2021 - (Newswire.com)
In a time of continued national unrest and an ongoing pandemic, America's first responders need mental, emotional and physical support now more than ever.
Lighthouse Health and Wellness, through a partnership with The National Center for Prevention of Community Violence (NCPCV), has launched agency-specific wellness programs at 15 law enforcement agencies, providing wellness resources for more than 23,000 members of law enforcement and their families across 11 states.
The Importance of Supporting First Responder Health
"Our nation's public safety officials face significant challenges in adequately meeting the mental, physical, and emotional needs of officers dealing with the stressors of the job. Large scale resources are critically needed to effectively support law enforcement personnel and their families," said Joe Ramirez, Founder of Lighthouse Health & Wellness.
"The Lighthouse Wellness App provides law enforcement officers and their families a new level of support during a time of crisis. It contains a great deal of information as well as a confidential pathway to essential support services that could be lifesaving," said Bobby Kipper, Executive Director of National Center for Prevention of Community Violence.

Motorola Solutions Foundation awards grants each year to organizations, such as Destination Imagination, which support and advance public safety programs and technology and engineering education initiatives.
"The importance of self-care and peer supportive services has never been more critical than it is now. Every law enforcement agency should have formal programs and mechanisms in place to not only evaluate the health of our officers, but to connect them with help, said Chief David Roddy of the Chattanooga Police Department, one of the scholarship recipients.

Rather than reserving exercise for a long session, the approach breaks activity into short bouts: a brisk climb up stairs, a few squats between meetings or an interval session squeezed into a lunch break.

'We must 'force' social media to redesign harmful algorithms, platforms that fuel addictive behavior
Charles Pellegrin is pleased to welcome Hannah Storey, Head of Children and Young People’s Digital Rights at Amnesty International. Digital spaces can provide even young people with community, self-expression, education and opportunities for activism. The deeper problem, she warns, lies in the architecture of the platforms themselves: the algorithms, infinite scrolling and other engagement mechanisms that can repeatedly amplify harmful material, stir up negative emotions and incite troubling behaviours - all to bolster a business model built around attention, emotions, addition, data and advertising.
